Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers reimbursement grants of $125 per family to assist with child care costs for registered participants of AMS Sectional Meetings. The aim is to enable parents to participate more fully in these meetings by helping cover expenses for any form of child care, whether on-site or at home. Recipients must arrange their own child care and may use the funds in the way that best fits their family's needs. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, limited to one per family per season (Spring or Fall).
